Vraith -- I misspoke; OoOTIM is the *sixth* Thursday Next book. The fifth one was Thursday Next: First Among Sequels.
Reading Embassytown by China Mieville now.

Book 1 of the Omaran Saga, by Adrian Cole.
I know I've mentioned them before, but has
anybody else ever read these?

The Secret History of Moscow by Ekaterina Sedia. It's a nice change of pace from the dense books I've been reading lately

First I've heard of Adrian Cole.
Have given
Trader's World another attempt. Stuck fast in Chapter 3!
I thought I would enter into the spirit of the book, but the third chapter is the first classroom lesson of
Trader students. The lesson, which I also tried to do myself, isn't too easy. Will read on when I manage to complete the assignment. Good fun!
This book reminds me of
Rite of Passage Alexei Panshin, or the
Starship Troopers movie - fingers crossed it continues as it begins!

Not a book, but a sf-ish/philosophical PLAY. Called "On Ego." [they're going to be performing it next year where my wife is a professor]
But also, I'm once again on a search for something I read a long time ago that probably sucked but I have fond memories of....and can't recall title...the play reminded me cuz it's [in part] about identity. In the book, they discover a way to regrow/remake peeps with the dna/body of other critters...I think I remember the big one is main char. gets turned into the critters who live on Jupiter? Anyway, they're way smarter than us...so he gets smarter than us...anyone know wtf I'm talking about?

That reminds me of the fool in Game of Thrones who got his head cut off by Joffrey
"I'M KING NOW." Or something to that effect, and then the fool is killed. I think it's offscreen. I sure hope so.

Well done!
Any comments?? Reading it only for lack of anything better to read? Better than average? Loved it?

Not sure if I'd call it steampunk, but it's certainly one of the best books ever written imho! Always nice when an author does time travel
right!
Coming to the end of Patrick Rothfuss's
The Wise Man's Fear. The most un-put-down-able book I've read in years!

I agree - not steampunk at all. Guess I got that idea from Wikipedia, so I got what I paid for there.

Ayup All...
Believe it or not, LFB ! Gonna read as much of it as I can before the Last Chrons arrive. Maybe I'd be better off reading WGW ?

I made a decision after the Elohimfest. When the last book comes out, I'm going to revisit and catch up by listening to Scott Brick's audiobook versions. Yes, I'll have to spend some money on it even though I already have the books, but I like the way he reads and am happy to support his efforts.
